Arnold Allen (-350) vs Gilbert Melendez (+265)

Arnold Allen (14-1) may be among the greatest fighters you haven’t seen before and also the odds suggest oddsmakers are taking him against Gilbert Melendez (22-7). Allen will fly under the radar a bit as he has only fought once a year because 2014, but if he does struggle, fans are in for a treat.
Allen is someone who lets his game do the talking and that he doesn’t have a tendency to be a personality pre- or post-fight, that can hurt when it comes to advertising. He is making an effort to be more active as it is his next battle in 2019. He comes into this bout undefeated in the UFC with a 5-0 record with two performance of the night awards to his credit.
Gilbert Melendez, 12 years old than the upstart Allen, has been through wars with just about everybody in the UFC. Melendez has without question diminished, entering the fight on a four-fight losing series. It is never a fantastic sign when a fighter needs to step away from the game to locate their love for it again. Following his final struggle, he did just that, but I have very real questions about the motivation of Melendez, that hasn’t won since 2013.
This is going to be the biggest battle of Allen’s career and when he has a wonderful showing, it ought to vault him into the top 15, eventually. He is very well educated and has shown an ability to accommodate to the struggle in front of him.
Lately, he’s given away some of his strategy already, stating:”I am prepared for anything, I’ve had all sorts of fights. I’ve been in boring fights where no one will get hit and you wind up winning without getting touched, and I have had fights where I’ve been in little brawls, type of grinding struggles, so I will be ready for whatever he brings. I am just going to outpoint himoutskill himand going to be somewhat better than him at the night.”
I agree, and Allen should point-fight his way to a decision victory, but he wants to not devote to Melendez, who’ll desire a kill-or-be-killed firefight.
